While no candidate came out with a upperhand, it's safe to say that John McCain came out without the win he was in need of. He didn't "lose" the debate, but he didn't give himself any election-changing moment that he is so desperately in need of. Had McCain, or Obama for that matter, been able to give a knockout punch, this would be a much easier debate to examine, however they did nothing of the sort.
With Obama still leading the the polls, Senator McCain needs to step his game up if he wants to make this one close. He's falling behind, and it appears as though his poll ranking is following the stock market. On a more positive note, a more recent poll showed john McCain leading in a poll which asked who was better prepared for the job by a significant 83% in his favor to 58% in Obama's. However, the election isn't decided on that poll, and the McCain campaign needs to wake up the close the gap.
With Sarah Palin on the war trail, it could be only a matter of time before they strike gold, but on the other end of that, a significant gaffe could set them even further behind.
With just under a month to go, there's plenty of time for politicking, and we know it's never over until it's over.
